HKUK Carnival 2026
Saturday 7 November, Kingston Community Centre.

From 7th to 15th November 2026, HKUK Carnival will take place at HKUK Kingston Community Centre, a three-storey historic building formerly home to a Telephone Exchange and Sorting Office. Once a place that connected people and places, the building will be reimagined as an open and welcoming cultural space to explore migration, memory and cultural identity through conversations that cross borders and communities.
Spanning nine days and two weekends, the Carnival takes the telephone as its point of departure. Imagining signals travelling across time, connecting past and present, the Carnival becomes a conduit that sparks new conversations. The Carnival also offers an opportunity to share the experiences of Hong Kong's emerging migrant community in Kingston, creating space for exchange and understanding between people from different backgrounds.
Part open house, part cultural gathering, the Carnival will bring people together through exhibitions, performances, workshops, and a craft and publishing market. It welcomes people to meet, share stories and discover new perspectives under one roof.
Through these different forms of expression, we hope to create opportunities to listen to one another, to tune in to the signals, stories and experiences that connect us, even across different places and generations.
Step into the Hong Kong you remember, or discover one you have never known. Here, Hong Kong is not simply a place held in memory, but an evolving idea that continues to travel, transform and grow.

Ghosts of Seattle
Saturday 7 November, The Fighting Cocks.

90s Grunge Tribute, Ghosts of Seattle bring the best of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and more.
Every song is a banger – no filler, no fluff, just two hours of the grunge anthems you know and love. Plus, we'll even throw in a deep cut or two for the true fans.
Expect Energy. Nostalgia. Pure Grunge Vibes.
